NFL Individual Awards Announced – The NFL awards went down last night and the biggest betting surprise was probably Joe Flacco, who passed Damar Hamlin for the Comeback Player of the Year award despite only joining Cleveland for a few games. At one point, you could bet +6,000 on Flacco to win the award. Elsewhere, Lamar Jackson won his second MVP and the Houston Texans’ C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson won two Rookie of the Year awards, the second time in the past two years that teammates have won both awards.
Christian McCaffrey won OPOY and Cleveland continued to clean up, with head coach Kevin Stefanski winning Coach of the Year and Myles Garrett winning DPOY. NFL Hall of Fame Class of 2024 Announced – The NFL’s newest Hall of Fame class was announced last night and it’s a star-studded group that includes Julius Peppers, Dwight Freeney, Andre Johnson, Patrick Willis and Devin Hester. Randy Gradishar and Steve McMichael were also named as senior candidates for the Hall. The biggest fool is Antonio Gates, Chargersand#039; star tight end in his first year of eligibility. Gates still has to wait a year,

New York acquired Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, a pair of wings who are both shooting over 40% from deep this year, valuable assets for a team quietly loaded with talent. After the moves, New York’s championship odds improved from +2,500 to +2,000, seventh best in the league. We’ve been on a roll for the Knicks for a few weeks; they are definitely worth a look..
